Finding the right companies to connect with is a daunting task at times in the ever-growing blogging world. And once you do, some companies will have long lists of expectations for you that seem impossible to meet.

But:

If you break down what it takes to make a long-term relationship work, it’s goes much more smoothly and is all the more fun!

Also, don’t forget to give them some extra love on social media (it really does make their day)! We all have that one friend that is so positive and radiates goodness, right? Let’s all be that person and collaborate to spread that goodness together!

Be honest and personal

The better you know the person you are communicating with, the more honest you can be with each other on finite details; you also want to enjoy who you are working with!

If something feels off or doesn’t quite match up with your brand, bring attention to it so you can work it out without feeling squeamish about it.

Meet deadlines

This one is probably the most important because if you do not get the work done on time, this will leave your sponsor frustrated and thinking you do not appreciate the opportunity to work with them. This is your job, right?
